Variety of polymeric designs addressing cellular integration. (A) The 3D plotted construct of starch-ε-polycaprolactone (SPCL) and an electrospun nanofiber mesh of allowed for homogeneous distribution of cells and osteoblastic cell preferential adherence to the nanofiber mesh. (B) An osteochondral scaffold after chondrocyte seeding comprises a cartilage region made of D,L-PLGA/L-PLA (red upper section) and a bone portion of L-PLGA/TCP composite (lower white section) with a gradient of materials and porosity between both section that showed preferential attachment of chondrocytes to the cartilage portion. Height = 4mm. (C) A multilayered lattice of carbohydrate-glass material provides a micro-structured, perfusable, dissolvable scaffold for vascular engineering. Scale bar = 1mm.
